I had already done the other side of this climb and it wasn't too bad. I found this side harder, as it does climb for quite a long time. Very nice view during the climb in the countryside with the rows of trees. I had a big gear, but the length was still a bit disappointing to sustain. As the turn to the right, you can see the summit and can make another sprint.

I had already done the other side of this climb and it wasn't too bad. I found this side harder, as it does climb for quite a long time.
Very nice view during the climb in the countryside with the rows of trees. I had a big gear, but the length was still a bit disappointing to sustain. As the turn to the right, you can see the summit and can make another sprint.

I also noticed, already mentioned in a previous post, that there are "manhole covers" on the roadway from time to time. These have a yellow colour. Do watch out for this.

When I passed there in September, it was fairly busy. Lots of walkers and at the top cyclists resting.

Very nice area to cycle through afterwards.

Ik had de andere kant van deze klim al gedaan en die viel best goed mee. Deze kant vond ik zwaarder, aangezien hij toch wel redelijk lang stijgt.
Heel mooi beeld tijdens de klim in de natuur met de bomenrijen. Ik had een groot verzet, maar de lengte viel toch wat tegen om vol te houden. Als de bocht naar rechts neemt, zie je de top liggen en kan je nog een spurtje maken.

Het viel me ook op, in een vorige post reeds vermeld, dat er op de rijbaan af en toe "putdeksels" liggen. Deze hebben een gele kleur. Hier toch wel voor opletten.

Toen ik er in september passeerde, was het redelijk druk. Veel wandelaars en op de top fietsers die aan het rusten waren.

Heel mooie streek nadien om doorheen te fietsen.

Slope is among trees, ideal on hot days. You avoid the busy parallel main road.

Helling ligt tussen de bomen, ideaal op warme dagen. Je vermijdt de drukke parallel gelegen hoofdbaan.

Nice if you're in the area but nothing special.

Leuk als je in de buurt bent maar niets bijzonders.

This side is even less challenging than the other side. But if you have prepared yourself for a flat ride, this is a slope. Of course, it's always fun to make a sprint. And quite a few riders in the area come here to do blocks.

Deze kant is nog minder lastig dan de andere kant. Maar als je je op een vlakke rit hebt voorbereid, dan is dit een helling. Het is natuurlijk altijd leuk om eens een sprintje te trekken. En nogal wat renners in de buurt komen hier blokjes doen.

Nothing special, nice if you're in the area. It really just rides like the average random road here, slightly uphill/downhill. The scenery is nice though (forests). Watch out for the blue plastic things on the side of the road, there are potholes sometimes.

Niks speciaals, leuk als je in de buurt bent. Het rijdt eigenlijk gewoon zoals de gemiddelde random weg hier, licht omhoog/omlaag. De omgeving is wel mooi (bossen). Let aan de zijkant van de weg wel op van de blauwe plastic dingen in de weg, zitten kuiltjes soms tussen.
